Cascadas en el Departamento Punilla

Waterfalls of Punilla

The Punilla Valley in the Sierras de Córdoba contains a high concentration of waterfalls formed by the region’s rugged granite topography. This selection includes the 115-meter Cascada los Chorrillos in Tanti, one of the tallest in the province, and high-altitude cascades along the Altas Cumbres road.
